1 Name: Sample Report Report Date: 11/20/2017 Consult with a licensed healthcare professional before making changes based upon any information contained within this report. These recommendations and explanations are based upon clinical observation by Maximized Genetics, LLC and current medical research. These results are for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease or condition. The use of this test and its recommendations have not been approved by the FDA. Maximized Genetics, LLC and its staff are not responsible for how this test is used or any damages resulting from its use.

2 DNA DNA can be described as your own personal cookbook. Full of recipes that create you as a human being, each page contains specific details about every cellular process in your body. Genes Genes should be considered the recipes of your cookbook. Each recipe is designed to produce a fully functional product. In this case, your product is a protein. You inherit your genes from your parents. Your recipes need the appropriate ingredients. In this case, ingredients are called alleles. Alleles Alleles are the nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). When sequenced together correctly, they create the final product: proteins. Alleles also determine the visual expression of your genes. For example: curly hair, green eyes, etc. This is known as your phenotype. Proteins Proteins are created by a series of amino acids that all code for specific functions in cells, tissues, and organs. Variations Variations (or single nucleotide polymorphism SNP) in allele pairing create regulatory issues within the body. Variations can be considered slight changes to your ingredients in the recipe. When you inherit genes from your parents, your alleles may join in a specific pattern. We call these patterns wild type, heterozygous, and homozygous. Wild type simply means that the pairing is most commonly found in nature. Heterozygous means you have one variation from a parent (different alleles). Homozygous means you have two variations (the same allele) from both parents. Epigenetics Epigenetics is the study of how the environment influences genetic expression. While we may have variations in our genetic code, our environment controls whether our genes are switched on or off. Our test does not account for environmental influences. We report genetic variations only. Work with a trained provider if you need help understanding the epigenetic influences.

4 You are genetically sensitive to refined carbs. This means that you should avoid highly refined carbs such as breads, pastas, and processed foods. You may have a lower BMI on a high complex carb diet. Consume at least 9 servings of vegetables a day. Limit high amounts of simple or refined carbs, as they will increase BMI. You have genes associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome. Limit your consumption of refined carbohydrates. Increase your consumption of vegetables and healthy fats. You should also avoid foods sweetened with refined sugar/high fructose corn syrup. Work with a healthcare provider to monitor blood glucose, insulin, and leptin levels.

5 You would not benefit from increased consumption of monounsaturated fats. You would benefit from the consumption of polyunsaturated fats. You are not sensitive to saturated fats. While they can still be inflammatory when consumed in excess, you can safely eat them in moderation. You do not have an elevated risk for total cholesterol or LDL levels. You do not have an increased risk of elevated triglyceride levels. You do not have an increased risk of lower HDL levels. Consumption of animal products will not lower your HDL. Based on your genetic profile, you could follow a high fat, low carbohydrate diet (aka Ketogenic). This diet is high in healthy fats, such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish. Consult with your healthcare provider about this option. Research suggests it is a good choice for neurological disorders, male infertility, and weight loss. Do not follow a high fat diet if you are a female with thyroid issues.

6 You are not genetically lactose intolerant. You may have a higher BMI with dairy intake. Consider avoiding dairy products as part of a weight loss program. You tested positive for potential gluten intolerance. If you have symptoms, consult with a healthcare provider to consider further testing and possible interventions. You could also take the proactive approach and avoid gluten all together. You do not have an increase risk for developing autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases.

7 You are prone to eating more calories than needed for daily energy expenditure. Consult with a healthcare practitioner to discuss your resting metabolic rate. You have a lower resting metabolism. You are less likely to lose fat in response to exercise. You will benefit greatly from caloric restriction. Consider using fiber and limiting portion sizes. You are not genetically prone to emotional eating. You do not have genetic issues with eating late at night and weight management. You are not able to taste bitter foods. This generally makes you more willing to eat vegetables. Make sure you are consuming at least 9 servings a day. You should eat normal portions to feel full.

8 You tested positive for the FUT2 mutation associated with potential risk for lower vitamin B12 levels. Consider supplementation.. You have tested as having compound heterozygous mutations for MTHFR A1298C and C677T. This can result in a 40% decrease in conversion of dietary folates into Methyl- Folate. Consider homocysteine or methylation testing. Avoiding synthetic folic acid and possibly supplementing with methyl-folate could potentially improve symptoms. Please discuss supplementation with a nutritionally trained practitioner. You tested positive for a marker associated with potential risk for lower vitamin B6 levels. Taking a daily supplement or increasing B6 containing foods should be considered. You have tested for a marker that potentially requires additional B2. Consider testing and supplementation.

9 You tested as potentially having issues in creating the retinol form of Vitamin A. Consider testing and supplementation with retinyl palmitate. You tested positive (homozygous) for the mutation in the GC (rs ) gene associated with moderate potential risk for lower Vitamin D levels. Normal potential Vitamin E levels Normal potential Vitamin C levels
